The ACT (American College Testing) is a standardized test that measures proficiency in five core areas: English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing (optional). The test is designed to measure the readiness of a high school student for college. As a key component of the application process, students will submit their ACT test scores to colleges and universities. Admissions officers will then review scores as a common data point that can be used to compare all applicants.
Commencing February 2024, the ACT will introduce online testing at designated locations nationwide. Additionally, students who prefer the conventional paper test can still choose that option.
At Ramana Coaching Center, we provide personalized one-on-one sessions for ACT preparation in reading, English, science, and math. Our goal is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in the ACT exams.
